i have sat in 8 hours of training for Microsoft Oulook in the past three days. It was not only boring, but very very useless. Apparently there are all sorts of fancy features in Outlook, for example, did you know that you can schedule meetings that will never take place because everyone's schedule change constantly? how about the feature where write yourself "sticky notes" in the program? yeah, so that when the computer crashes you can't find that vital piece of info anywhere. umm.. how about writing on an actual post-it and stick it on the side of your monitor?
oh.. and Outlook allows people to assign tasks to you. i can see my manager abusing this feature. he's the kinda guy that will pull you in a two hour meeting at 9am under the pretense that it'll only take 10 minutes, then at the end of the meeting at 11am he'll tell you have that he "forgot" to mention that you have a deadline at 11:30am.. for a task that will take you two hours to complete. augh. friggin' windbag.
if i wasn't paid for sitting there, i'd be pissed.
time for: dinner.. and then laundry? hopefully?
